I’ve been painting most of my life and I love painting in a modernist way using colour and abstract shapes and curves. I like to paint water lilies and other scenes involving effects and water and light and fog and mist etc I love those painters that enjoyed these types of paintings from Turner to later romantic painters and of course the impressionists, post impressionists, fauves and the tonalists. Some influences : JMW Turner, Caspar David Friedrich, Claude Monet, George Inness, Tom Roberts, Paul Cézanne, Matisse, Édouard Manet, Clarice Beckett, Lesley Sinclair, Brett Whiteley
